Askmewhats Reviews: MAC Sculpting Powder in Lightsweep/Shadester

A lovely product from MAC. I love their Sculpting powder series and I bought the color in Lightsweep/Shadester. I am so sorry guys, I tried taking a pix of it and it just got washed out by the camera flash, if I didn't use a flash, it gets too dark and you can't see anything. Hahaha I may try this again in the future but here's my review on this for now :)

The above picture is the darker one which is the "shadester" . As the name implies, you use it to go shade some ares of your face or we COUNTOUR with it. I use this best on the cheekbones, nose bridge area, and to those who's got a wide forward, I dust it on the forehead as well. This looks very natural!

This would be the "lightsweep" or the lighter version. This has very small shimmer that's best to use as highlighter. I use this to highlight the area where the sun hits the face :) I also use this under the eyes, as it makes your eyes brighter.

Overall, I am so happy I bought this product. With this 2-in-1 product, I don't need to buy a separate Contouring and Highlighting powder.

I know a lot of fellow beauty bloggers have their Sculpting powder.How do you like it?Any more tips where I can use this for? (as I know you can use it to create a deeper cleavage as well) --- hahahha I haven't tried it ok!!!! hahahha

Hi Nic Nic, I know, I didn't want to get it first and I was buying all those dupes..i tried ELF but it didn't work on me :) I've been spending so much then at the end, I gave in! hahaha Since I have the color on hand now, if I find any dupes, will let you know :)

Using large angled brush, I apply shadester on my jawlines (noted: avoid excess) and slightly under cheekbones (same place where I put highlighter)

Tips for those who has bell-bottom nose (sorry I don't know the exact words to define that kinda nose LOL), use a small angled brush around nose to create shadow to make skinnier silhouette of your nose :)

Hope that helps!

As for the lightsweep, maybe just for blending the shadester? *not sure*

awwww devi that was too sweet of you!!!! You're right on!!!! I've been using this to the jawline as well for those who's got a bit extra skin there :) And devi LOL you are funny!!! If you are in Manila, i won't hesitate to meet up with you and share to you my lighsweet/shadester..i said SHARE ok? Not buy you one! hahaha and you can do the Tried and tested..you didn't state "Got it for free and tested" hehehe

Cassandra, i did absolutely the same! I bought a darker shadow for it and I just can't seem to find the right shade, so i ended up spending more and buying the MAC S&S hahaha no worries, i enjoyed your blog :)

i think this is the only most raved MAC product i heard of that i really didn't feel like buying... prolly 'cause am not into contouring much and i still got 2 bronzers i barely use! but still, i'd like to hear your review. ;)
